Selling your services in today's marketplace
Speaking gibberish on internet talkboards since last Michaelmas. Plus here on Twitter -
Terrifiyingly, regrettably, painfully accurate.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -
Generally speaking if you are not flexible and ignore market conditions then you won't get a sale - buyer (aka customer) rules now and that is how it should be.
Now specifically there are 2 distinct cases here:
1) Couple in a restaurant apparently ask for a final toll, implying they had eaten the product, they'd have to pay it in full and should have bargained BEFORE ordering, he is in the wrong.
2) Music guy and that lady with hairdressers appear to have made legitimate offer, it might not be appropriate for a music store, but it might be ok for the lady case.
